Hi George, Billy here. We met down in AC at the Delaware Valley Show last year. I was there with my son Richie. Your 4-door is looking really sweet! I love the color. Will you be bring it to the next DVN Show? I am partial to straight 6's and would love to see it. I stopped by the new website and thought it was very good. I even saw my picture posted with the group from Steve's. Good luck with your new ride! Billy.

I'm assuming we haven't seen an update on this because you've been too busy enjoying the car, right?

I'd would have been climbing the walls this whole time.

I may get to go visit mine tomorrow. I'll have to strap on the snowshoes and wade through the 3 feet of snow to get to the barn.

I did get my POR 15 engine paint kit today though. Just won't be able to use it for about 3 or 4 more months:mad:

Polished tail lights.

I also insalled a NOS 66 trunk panel and bumper guards.I prefer the 66 over the 67 mldg.

I replaced the repop grille with a NOS polished grille,bumper w/guards,and Canso windsplint mldg.to complement the front end.

When i first recieved the car i noticed a bad gap between bezel and fender.Turns out the car was hit after it was restored.Fixed using a repop fender.Prior to me buying the car.

I custom made some bezel gaskets.

Would you be able to take a close-up pic of the nos trunk moulding? Is it painted gray? I restored mine and Iam curious if I even came close to the correct color. I have never seen a NOS piece.

The Moredoor looks Nice!

EDIT Never mind on the close-up I just noticed the top pic and the painted area is shown.
